Does Enlarged Prostate Cause Uncontrolled Urge Of Urination?

Hello, I'm a 53 yr old Asian male who has a family history of hypertension and HBP as well as colon cancer. My question is that I have these uncontrollabe urges of urinating. It seems I do not have control of my bladder. I'm concerned I may have a problem with possibly an enlarged prostate. Do you think this is true?
